Ben's E-mail to Adam

iorange555 — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:42:36 -0000

As you know Adam and Ben are connected they are what brothers should be they love each other, and it shows. Even through here it shows I sit and think sometimes "How come my brother can't love me like that?" So I was looking back on lonestarball, and found this E-mail Ben wrote to Adam one day, and it was so sweet because it was for no reason, it was just to let his brother know what he was doing.

Hey Brother it's your Brother here (Ben) just wanted to tell you I was missing you, and thinking about you. I know we're grown now and we can't spend as much time together, but I think back to when we were younger, and when we would watch tv late at night just to spite our parents, and when they would yell we'd just grin to each other. We knew we would get punished, but we knew it would be together, and being grounded is not so bad when you have your brother with you to play a game of battleship with I cry every time I hear someone say "I sank your battleship" cause I know we are no longer punished together. So yeah, I just decided to message you I went to the store today, and when I was buying the stuff for my jerky I saw this guy there with an angels hat on, and I thought "I know my brother Adam would make some funny remark here, and we'd laugh all the way down the cereal aisle, then we'd realize we were in the cereal aisle, and we'd reminiscence about how the toys in cereal boxes were way better when we were kids, and how you just wanted to eat the cereal, and all I cared about were the toys. I must say you like to eat Adam, but I mean you're not some skinny ass ferret you're my big teddy bear brother, and I love you for that.

Like I said though we're no longer punished together, and well I just got punished you know the dude in the angels hat? Well I made a not so tasteful remark about his stupid hat, and one thing led to another and I was beating him over the head with a stale loaf of french bread. There were kids staring in awe like someone had just unmasked barney, and ripped off Santa's beard at the same time. People called the cops, and I was arrested, and well we weren't punished together, but I'm kind of hoping you can come bail me out. They wouldn't let me use the phone, so I'm having to e-mail you, but we all know we're both computer nerds so an e-mail is probably better anyways. Please come fast, because the battleship isn't the same here, and it doesn't end with "I sank your battleship" it ends with "My penis head is fighting with the depths of your buttholeshit" don't make me the buttholeshit Adam, we're brothers.

I love you.

Love, your brother (Ben)

I've got tears, how about you?

2009

Well the Angels have clinched the West, and with one boston win, or Rangers loss the Wild Card will be theirs. So the playoff chances are over now, and I know some of you are like "Yes Orange we've been telling you that for 3 weeks now" Well fuck you, okay? We still had a chance. I had so many emotions this season back in May we were flying high 4.5 games up in our division feeling like we could win the west, and kick godzilla's ass at the same time. Then slowly over the months that feeling has changed. It's gone way down, and then way back up before finally staying way down.

When asked was this season a disappointment I don't know what to say really. You know we weren't expected to be this good this season, so that must make it a step in the right direction, but then again this season could have been so much more. We had plenty of chances and sucked when the pressure came on. Part of that may be due to the fact it's a really young team who has never been under this kind of pressure before now. Then again our veterans didn't play too great under pressure either. But if I had to choose an answer I'd have to go with it was a step in the right direction. No matter how many chances we blew it was still a step in the right direction. This season showed us how good we MIGHT be next year. Feldman has been fantastic, and Holland for his first season wasn't too bad. He had moments of brilliance, and weeks of bad pitching. Feliz well he basically was some sort of magical human who was so good it didn't seem real.

This season has had some of the most rangertastic moments ever. The sweep of the Angels, The sweep of the Red Sox. All the walk-offs, Holland one hitting the Angels. Feliz striking out his first four batters as a major leaguer, and of course Elvis making fantastic play after another. It's been an amazing season, and the first season in awhile where we could actually scoreboard watch into September. Everyone involved with the rangers was apart of the playoff race in 2009, and that is giant leap into the right direction. There are no guarantees next year, but you'd think the young guys we have now will just get better, and if thats the case the Angels might be the ones looking out onto the field as we celebrate clinching the 2010 division.

This one is for you Biguns

I've got hope yes I do. Goooo hope.

iorange555 — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:17:36 -0000

Where is the hope guys? WHERE IS THE FAITH? Okay I know where it is it's in the toilet along with other dumps of shit the rangers took this week. I've thought it was over this week I've been close to just giving up on the playoffs all together, but we can be 5.5 games out tomorrow. If we somehow stop shitting, and sweep the Angels we're 2.5 games out with 4 more to play with them. Then it basically would be in our hands. The likelihood of a sweep is not good. I mean our winning against the Angels has to stop, right? Well maybe. But maybe we honestly do have their number, and maybe we honestly do only play well against good teams. But that might be just good enough.

People talk about how we would need to go like 15 and 2 if the angels went 8-9 or something. When you look at it that way sure it doesn't look good at all. But if we won 6 out of the remaining 7 against the Angels our wins would be their losses. Thats 6 right there, and say they lose 2 to the Yankees thats 8, so they'd need to go basically undefeated against the rest of the games they play. I'm just saying if we sweep this weekend then this season looks entirely different. Don't give up hope till after this series these games still mean something they mean a lot they mean our season, so let's get into it a little, and not be so mopy.

Did you expect Kenny Chesney to finally admit he's gay? No! But it happened.

Did you expect Global Warming was going to take over the world, and make us all.........warm? No! But it happened.

Did you expect Tony Romo, and Jessica Simpson getting married and having two kids named Tito and Billop? No! But it happened.

Did you expect our offense to suck this season? No! But it happened.

Did you expect Scary movie 5 to be good? No! But it was hilarious.

Did you expect Brett Farve to come back from retirement? Yes!.......And this is a very bad example.

Don't lose the hope.

I'll leave you with a quote from our great leader

This team is finished, and it is time to look to 2010

I've never wanted someone to get bit in the ass more than I do now. Let's go rangers.

Hitler really hates the Texas Rangers....

Frankie's video

iorange555 — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:27:03 -0000

So, I made this video for you Frankie you can put it on your iphone, or whatever. It's just a way for you to get fired up before you come into close. Your beeping sound noise just ain't cutting it, so you know take an iphone out to the bullpen, and when you hear the phone ring. Press play and watch. I hope it helps I really love you, and I want you to get as many saves as possible.

To me it seems like C.J. Wilson has lost touch with reality.

iorange555 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 10:09:53 -0000

It's really sad to see, I mean last season he started off pretty good he was doing fine and getting the job done. But after that ball toss I just don't think he's ever been the same and the warning signs are just right there infront of our faces it's crazy. He's not upset, he has lost touch with reality. I have proof too. If you study his myspace you'll see it, I'll give you some things to look for.

One as you can clearly see on his profile there is a huge picture of him and there's this boy standing in front of him and the boy has writing on his forehead while C.J. is behind him smiling with a marker in his hand. Writing on people's foreheads and then mocking them behind their backs is one sign.

If you look at his playlist you will see he has a song called "just dance" by lady gaga. I'll leave it at that.

If you look at his age it says he's 109 I think we all know he's not 109 so the fact that he believes he is 109 is very sad.

The warning signs are out there folks. Just open your eyes, this is no time to be bashing C.J. saying he's upset. Shut up okay? You don't know him and really I don't know if he knows himself. Please stop the judging I don't see how you guys can read one of his blogs and think you know his feelings. LOOK AT HIS PROFILE. LOOK AT IT! You'll see it too.

We love you C.J.

Harrison pitching tomorrow.

iorange555 — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 22:34:34 -0000

From DMN

That's right. Matt Harrison is coming to the big leagues to pitch against the AL West Division leaders. Eric Hurley's left hamstring felt better today, but during some fielding drills it wasn't quite at 100 percent and the Rangers don't want to take any chances.

So Harrison gets the call. The lefty has split time between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Oklahoma and is a combined 6-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 15 starts (84 innings) this season. He gave up one earned run in six innings in his last outing on July 3. He had five strikeouts and two walks.

The Rangers will wait until after the game to figure out what corresponding move they have to make to put Harrison on the roster.
